REGION CODES

Region codes are a single or multiple line code that is included in the config.TXT file. The codes added here will be used in future versions of Trainz as a sort and selection criteria. For content that exists in multiple areas, list each area on a separate line.

For example, a locomotive that was available in the United States and Canada would be specified as follows:

category-region-0 US
category-region-1 CA

The first region code specified must be category-region-0. Subsequent entries increase this code by one for each entry, so the next entry would be category-region-1 and so on.

Side note: Do not skip a code! For example specifying your regions as category-region-0 US and then category-region-2 CA would result in the second region code being missed or unread!

The region codes sorted by countries that are recognized by Trainz are as follows:

ERA CODES

Era codes are a single or multiple line code that is included in the config.TXT file. The codes added here will be used in future versions of Trainz as a sort and selection criteria. For content that exists in multiple eras list each era on a separate line.

For example, a locomotive that was available in the 1960s and 1970s would be specified as follows:

category-era-0 1960s
category-era-1 1970s

The first era code specified must be category-era-0. Subsequent entries increase this code by one for each entry, so the next entry would be category-era-1 and so on.

Side note: Do not skip a code! For example specifying your eras as category-era-0 1960s and then category-era-2 1970s would result in the second era code being missed or unread!

The era codes that are recognized by Trainz are as follows:

1800s 1810s 1820s 1830s 1840s 1850s 1860s 1870s 1880s 1890s
1900s 1910s 1920s 1930s 1940s 1950s 1960s 1970s 1980s 1990s
2000s 2010s
